Italian giants Juventus have moved to dismiss reports that their current manager, Massimiliano Allegri, is in talks with Premier League side Arsenal to replace Arsene Wenger this summer.

The Frenchman has been in charge of the Gunners since 1996 and has become the club's longest-serving manager in history. But Wenger has yet to agree an extension to his current deal with Arsenal, which expires this summer, leading to speculation that Allegri could succeed him.

Reports in Italy suggested that talks were under way, and that Allegri would make a decision by the end of next month.
